Outreach

Community outreach is especially important to the faculty and staff of CCFL.
Providing information, advice, and support to parents, care givers, and the
community is achieved by many methods. The internet, however has been a
powerful tool in providing people with the information and assistance they may
need while caring for the children in their care. Listed below are links to
outreach projects in which the Center is actively involved.
